Amazing Federer: Swiss ace stays in a rally after falling down

Roger Federer survived his first round match at the Garry Weber Open Championship on Monday, prevailing after two hour and 11 minutes over top German Philipp Kohlschreiber 7-6(8), 3-6, 7-6(5)in Halle.

But the bigger news was how the Swiss ace managed to stay in a rally, after falling flat on his back in the course of action.

This amazing act will certainly expand the legend of Federer, a brilliant player who had previously shown a mouth-gaping world that he could play a shot in between his legs.
